Eileen Smith Events 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Canaan, CT

Her experience, creativity & knowledge in the event industry puts her ahead of most in the area. She loves creating and working with clients on all levels to make their vision become a reality. "I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.

Green Apple Weddings & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Canaan, CT

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

We had a wonderful experience using Green Apple & Elevate Green for wedding planning, coordination and design. Communication was always timely, professional and extremely helpful. Our floral design and execution was beautifully done as well by the team and we could not have been happier. Kate and Jen's combined knowledge and experience helped to execute our wedding day perfectly. They both genuinely care and go above and beyond!

I am a mom of 5 year old twin girls. I am always running around and it is very hard for me stay still. Having planned my own wedding in 2015 it really opened my eye in how much I love the industry. I also know the stress that goes along with it and not having the help when needed. No couple should ever have to go through it on their own and that is what I am here for. Let's plan together!

Hiring Amanda – Amethyst Events by Amanda and her team was absolutely wonderful. Everything flowed so naturally, and I didn’t have a single issue throughout my wedding planning process. I was truly able to enjoy my special day and felt very well cared for from start to finish. I’m so grateful to all of you for being part of this beautiful day, for paying attention to every little detail, and for showing so much love and passion for what you do.

Working with Angel was truly one of the greatest joys of our entire wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely seen, heard, and supported in every way. She has a remarkable gift for helping you put words to your vision—even when you're not totally sure what that vision is yet! Angel took all of our ideas, hopes, and even our uncertainties, and turned them into something more beautiful and seamless than we ever could have imagined.

We absolutely LOVED working with Justine at Mills Memories for our special day! Justine went above and beyond at every step of the way for us. We knew we needed a coordinator for the day of, but Justine met with us about once a month for almost a full year leading up to the wedding. She made sure we were staying on track with all the to-dos and even provided a checklist for us to work through. The week of the wedding she was on top of everything. All of our other vendors sang her praises and we can confirm, working with Justine made our whole wedding day so much smoother. She also came to our rehearsal which was a huge help, not only because it was great that she knew how everything at the church should go on the day of, but also because I had a wardrobe malfunction and she was there to help my matron of honor sew me into my rehearsal dinner dress. To top it all off, when we were going through the cards from our wedding night, we found the sweetest card from Justine, which was such a beautifully kind gesture. We are so grateful for all the hard work and dedication that Justine put into our wedding day and we can’t recommend her enough!

From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).

All couples need Dana and her team with Thyme & Details for their big day. We hired Dana as a day of coordinator but she is so much more than that. She went to countless vendor meeting and kept track of all of my overly detailed instructions to make sure each piece of our day (timeline, vendor contracts, etc) worked with those details. When the venue dropped the ball, others got details wrong, or vendors fell through, Dana was always a step ahead and came up with even better solutions than our original plans. Dana really knows the ins and outs of organizing a wedding, is in tune with the Columbus wedding scene, and has incredibly valuable connections. Overall we were blown away by Dana and her team’s professionalism and dedication to our wedding. Dana’s communications were always prompt, detailed, and thorough every step of the way, making the planning process a breeze. She lead our rehearsal too which is exactly what we needed. Her team also went above and beyond the day-of to ensure every aspect of our special day was executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend Dana and her team highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planning team that will truly make their day unforgettable. Could not imagine our day without her!

We absolutely loved working with Dahlia Events for our wedding. Deliece was our main point of contact, and she was truly a joy and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired a day-of coordinator because although we wanted to own the process of planning the wedding, we did not want to be point persons for vendor questions, logistics, and issues on the day of the wedding. We chose Merry By Mia because we instantly felt like we were in good hands, were reassured by the fact that Mia herself had recently gotten married and knew firsthand what kind of stressors and wrinkles go into a wedding day, and because we were impressed with her podcast. We benefited greatly from working with Merry by Mia! We had a sounding board for questions throughout the planning process, making big undertakings (like finding and booking transportation for 120 people!) much much simpler. And of course, on the day of, we would not have rested nearly as easy if we hadn't known that Mia was there to represent our best interests when we couldn't be there ourselves. We also heavily relied on Mia to understand what we wanted/what was important to us and translate that to our other vendors, especially when we felt we weren't being listened to. This was invaluable to us. Overall, we were incredibly satisfied! From big planning moments down to helping me into my reception dress, the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly without Mia. I would absolutely recommend working with Merry because from my experience, Mia was reliable, understanding, and excited! It means a lot when vendors who live and breathe weddings still have the ability to get as excited over the details as you do. I would say to absolutely prioritize this expense in your budget. For me, I know that if I had allocated that money to any other line item I wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it because I would be dealing with so much unnecessary stress and wrangling without a point person. Mia went above and beyond, listening to the long list of very particular requests we had and made sure everything was perfect. We're so thankful to her! “

Things for us, certainly came with more than a few bumps along the road. But when Abibi Bridal stepped in, it felt like someone finally saw us, heard us, and held space for both our dream and our chaos. Abiola became a calm presence when we were stressed, a creative light when we felt stuck, and a true advocate when we needed our voices heard. She was able to support us from out of state yet, it always felt like she was right there beside us present, organized, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Her ability to listen and lead at the same time is something we’ll never forget. Every vendor and guest who interacted with her had nothing but glowing feedback. She didn’t just coordinate, she connected. When things didn’t go as planned, She worked with what she was given and she carried it all with grace, protecting the peace and joy of our day. Abiola softened every misstep, elevated every moment, and somehow her and her team made the entire experience more beautiful than we could have imagined. That’s not something you can find on a checklist. After the wedding, my husband who rarely says much—turned to me and said: "If we had to do this all over again, I’d want her from DAY ONE." That one sentence said everything we both felt in our hearts. She embodies everything a couple hopes for in a wedding coordinator. We honestly can’t believe the wedding is over. What’s even harder to believe is that we don’t get to keep her because Abiola energy, her presence, her passion it’s nothing short of magical. truly became like family. Abiola is not just a vendor; she’s like family. With all our love, The Saint-Stanton's Married 5.25.2025 @ 5:25 PM

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

Working with Raquel was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life—and she exceeded every expectation we had. Raquel was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. She handled every vendor with professionalism, kept us on track with timelines, and always made herself available to answer questions or offer guidance. But beyond her expertise, it was Raquel’s warmth, kindness, and positive energy that made the entire planning process feel joyful instead of stressful. Our wedding was truly perfect, and that’s thanks in large part to Raquel. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were her own, look no further—Raquel is the one. Thank you, Raquel, for making our day unforgettable. You are truly amazing!

What brings me joy on your wedding day is watching your gorgeous faces from the back of the aisle, knowing that your wedding is unfolding exactly as we planned it. You are excited and focused on each other, just as it should be. Your happiness is my happiness, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Events By Missy & Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first conversation, Melissa and her team demonstrated an organized, thoughtful, and kind communication style that immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process and on the day of, they provided a stress-free, nice, and confident approach, quickly solving any problems that arose so we could fully enjoy our special day. Melissa in particular worked tirelessly to come up with solutions rather than dwell on issues, handling a few minor hiccups behind the scenes that we didn't even know about until later. Their professionalism and attention to detail allowed us to have a truly memorable wedding celebration. We are so grateful to Events By Missy & Company for making our wedding day perfect.

She was THE BEST!! One of the standout qualities of Sanjam is her patience and accommodation. She is quick to think on her feet, and handled all situations while ensuring everyone (even the nosey relatives) had a great time. You can hand her the planning process and trust me, she will make it seem like a cake walk. Hiring her is the best choice I made for my wedding day!

While planning events as a side hustle for over a decade, I have also been a nonprofit event coordinator, farmer, and music festival planner. My background gives me a unique perspective on each wedding I plan. Sustainability, Inclusivity and Couple Advocacy are extremely important to me. Some fun facts: Leo with Taurus Moon and Libra Rising, ENFP, a Peacemaker, and I love a good personality quiz. I'm a sucker for fashion, and like to joke that ! can smell a good consignment/vintage shop. I had a wedding Pinterest 8 years before I even met my husband, and I will do anything in my power to give you the wedding you want.

I don’t think I can truly explain or fit into a review how amazing Kris with unKAGed events is! We hired Kris because this was a destination wedding for us and we needed help with locating vendors and wanted to feel like we had someone that we could work with in the area that was familiar with the industry and able to coordinate day of for us. I had my initial call with Kris and immediately felt comfortable and listened to with any questions or concerns I had with planning. She offered us different vendors for catering, rentals, dj and cake. She setup up tastings and meetings with all vendors making sure we felt comfortable and confident with every vendor we went with. Kris went above and beyond being CCd on every email and on every call. She provided quick and accurate information throughout the planning process. We ran into issues with our venue along the way and Kris was right there beside us helping us and working through it. What can feel like the chaos of wedding planning we knew we could trust her and rely on her. When it came to day of as a bride it’s hard to feel like you don’t have full control over your day. However trusting Kris after working with her leading up to the big day I knew she was going to do all she could to bring my vision to life and make the best decisions for our wedding. She did just that! I can’t put into words how much she did for us - from all the work leading up, rehearsal, setting up ceremony site, setting up cocktail hour, setting up the reception tables and seating chart and then breaking it all down after - she truly does it all!! I knew I was hiring someone to help us along the way and for the day of our wedding what I didn’t know is I was hiring someone who would care about us the way she did.
